Next to His Son and the Holy Spirit, The Bible is God's greatest gift to mankind. What treasure on earth could be compared to one Word from God? There is good reason why The Bible is the bestselling book of all time by such a wide margin. The importance of The Bible cannot be overstated. If Jesus, who is the Word, would take His stand on the written Word when challenged by the devil, how much more must we be established on that Word to take our stand and live our lives by it?
Hebrews
Of all the Epistles in the New Testament, Hebrews is unique and is considered the deepest theologically. It is also one of the most important for fortifying the New Covenant we have in Christ. It is addressed to the Jewish people about their greatest hope, the Messiah, engaging in an in-depth overview of how the Old Covenant law prophesied Christ and was fulfilled in Him.
James
The style of James is pastoral. It addresses practical aspects of basic Christian living such as dealing with temptation, faith and works, and discerning the wisdom from above from that which comes from below. The sound teaching given on these topics can have a most basic impact on the life of any who follows them. They have helped multitudes throughout the church age live a victorious Christian life.
